Searching for Shalom…. Monthly Archives: July 2015. In the midst of life…. July 7, 2015. And I’m so very, very sorry, but he died. Life is so tenacious and yet so tenuous. Once its terrible fragility has been manifest, it’s hard to have the same confidence in the unveiling of each day. This is someone’s last day. As a result, I’m now very particular about proper goodbyes. If I ever nip out with a cursory wave, there’s always the nagging doubt of ‘what if that’s the last time? Psalm 90 talks about these f...

Searching for Shalom…. June 12, 2014. Did you ever play Connect Four when you were a kid? I quite enjoyed it. We have it now and my youngest child enjoys slotting the discs into the game, though she’s not terribly bothered about joining them up yet. So, this week I’ve made a deliberate effort to let down the drawbridge and step into my reality. This is unbelievably hard. There are shards of glass everywhere I step. But at least those steps are propelling me forward. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are co...

Searching for Shalom…. August 5, 2014. If you like physics (it confuses me), philosophy (quite interesting) or. The Big Bang Theory. If we go back to that beautiful town now, we have no home to return to. And there will be no parents nearby as my Dad died in the intervening years away and my mum has now left the state. It seems such a cruel twist of fate to end up back there, rendering the painful adaptations of the last few years futile. And what am I to make of all this theologically? You are commentin...

Searching for Shalom…. June 26, 2015. There is too much to say and so, oddly enough, the temptation is to skim over the depths and say too little. I’ll write about each of these in the depth they deserve at some point but, for now, I want to focus on one recurring motif. Despite the wintry weather in this cold new state, there is new life all around. Words, long dormant, are bursting into life. And the most significant concerns the Big Tree. That felt like life, somehow. Any big tree must withstand m...

Searching for Shalom…. Derailed – an Advent lesson. December 20, 2015. Advent is my favourite time of the year. Nothing surpasses this season of preparation for Christmas. Some of this is for the big day itself gifts, food, decorations – but the more meaningful preparation is the spiritual one, the deepening realisation of what the birth of the Christ-child means for the world. If our month of Advent sometimes seems long (and it certainly does to my 4yo! Let earth receive her King! Above all this Advent,...

Searching for Shalom…. March 10, 2015. My life has taken a strange turn recently as I entered the final weeks of this third (and last! To look more closely at the limited view from my window, and to do some muscle exercises.

The weekend’s pain and fear has seeped out in tears and I’ve wept for the interruption to daily life and cuddles with my girls. August 5, 2014. The Big Bang Theory.
